Flying Friday

No flowers for Friday, again; and I'm getting a back-log of pictures to sort through, and process, but this is just a single shot from yesterday, that I rather liked myself. Hope you enjoy it too.



Grey Heron


Soon be the weekend, and I hope you all have a good one.

Now here's something. It's bugged me the last few days; bloggers new word verification.
Have a look at Theresa's post, on her blog. She says it all so well!!

Great shot Keith, I like the way the water is flicked off the feet, you caught that just right.

Yes that word verification is a real pain.

You really caught that splash! I gave my neighbor a bird book, as he is always asking me for IDs. He wrote me to say he saw a Grey Heron-- in South Florida. I told him to start over from the beginning of the book rather with the "accidentals" at the end!

Reena Walkling said...

Love the great greys! And so annoyed with the verification thing as well!

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Roy.

JoLynne, thank you.

Thanks Ken. Hmmm, he may be right though lol

Reena, thanks :-)

A lovely photo of one of my favourite birds. The photo has great energy I think. Love the comment by NewMexiKen :-)

Thank goodness people are starting to mention the new word verification, I hope blogger take note, it is driving me crazy!!!! I took word verification off my blog yesterday for that reason. Most of them are unreadable and it just takes too long and why do some bloggers have that and comment moderation!!!! Of course the spam has started since I got rid of mine but hey ho, I'll just delete it.

Thank you Jan.
I think Theresa was spot on with her post today.

Karin M. said...

Wow ... a great successful picture...

Best regards, Karin

Gillian Olson said...

Great action shot complete with splash.
I agree with Theresa, I am tired of those pesky word verifications.

Sondra said...

OH I agree the word verify thing has to GO--lol I like the way the water is flying out behind this heron!!

holdingmoments said...

Thank you Karin :-)

Thanks Gillian. :-)

Sondra, thank you. :-)

Midmarsh John said...

I'm with you and Theresa on the OTT word verification. Bloody stupid.

holdingmoments said...

It certainly is John. They seem hell bent on destroying blogging with all these changes.

Liz said...

Great shot!
And the new word verification is a pain. I took it off my blog long ago, as I found it annoying but the new one is ridiculous.

Liz said...

I agree with you and Theresa on the word verification!! An absolute pain!
Great image too :)
